You probably have two *windows* displaying the *same* buffer. I don't think you
can have two buffers visiting the same file, because visiting a file first
checks if the file is already being visited.

As pointed out by others, you could use an indirect buffer, but that's not a
perfect solution, because it messes up font lock (apparently among other
things).
